Product details
Overview
74HC166PW-Q100 from Nexperia is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified 8-bit parallel-in/serial-out shift register with CMOS logic levels, 2.0 V to 6.0 V supply range, -40 °C to +125 °C operation, and synchronous parallel load via active-low PE input. It serves as a serial data expander in automotive body control modules for LED driver interface consolidation.
For engineers reviewing the 74HC166PW-Q100 datasheet, 74HC166PW-Q100 pinout, 74HC166PW-Q100 application, or 74HC166PW-Q100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its asynchronous master reset (MR), clock enable (CE) control, propagation delay of 14 ns at 6.0 V, TSSOP16 package thermal performance, and compatibility with 5 V TTL-level systems when paired with 74HCT166 variants.
Technical Context
This device implements an 8-stage synchronous shift register with dual-path data loading: parallel load occurs on the rising edge of CP when PE is LOW; serial shift occurs on each CP rising edge when PE is HIGH and CE is LOW. The MR input asynchronously clears all stages to LOW regardless of CP state.
Its CMOS input structure includes clamp diodes enabling safe interfacing to voltages exceeding VCC using current-limiting resistors, and it supports both static latching (via hold mode) and dynamic expansion across multiple cascaded units using Q7-to-DS daisy-chaining.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Function | 8-bit parallel-in/serial-out shift register with asynchronous reset and clock enable |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.0 V to 6.0 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and legacy 5 V automotive subsystems |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - validated for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 |
| Propagation Delay (CP to Q7) | 14 ns (typ) at VCC = 6.0 V - supports >24 MHz serial throughput in high-speed control loops |
| Input Logic Level | CMOS-compatible - VIH = 4.2 V, VIL = 1.8 V at VCC = 6.0 V; eliminates level-shifter requirement in pure CMOS systems |
| Power Dissipation | ICC ≤ 160 μA (max) at VCC = 6.0 V, -40 °C to +125 °C - enables low-quiescent-current designs in always-on vehicle networks |
| ESD Robustness | HBM > 2000 V, CDM > 1000 V - withstands handling and assembly stresses in automotive manufacturing lines |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 plastic thin shrink small outline package (SOT403-1); 16-pin, 4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch; optimized for automated optical inspection and high-density PCB layouts in automotive ECUs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DS) | Serial Data Input | Accepts serial bit stream during shift mode; tied to Q7 of upstream device for daisy-chain expansion |
| 2–5, 10–12, 14 (D0–D7) | Parallel Data Inputs | Load 8-bit parallel word synchronously on CP rising edge when PE = LOW; supports GPIO expansion from MCU ports |
| 6 (CE) | Clock Enable (active LOW) | Disables CP input when HIGH - prevents unintended shifts during bus arbitration or debug pauses |
| 7 (CP) | Clock Input (rising-edge triggered) | Edge-sensitive control for both parallel load and serial shift; requires clean <20 ns rise/fall times at 6 V |
| 8 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0 V return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance to minimize ground bounce |
| 9 (MR) | Master Reset (active LOW) | Asynchronously clears all 8 flip-flops to LOW; used for power-on initialization or fault recovery |
| 13 (Q7) | Serial Output | LSB-serial output from final stage; drives DS of next device or microcontroller UART RX line |
| 15 (PE) | Parallel Enable (active LOW) | Selects parallel load mode (PE = LOW) vs. serial shift mode (PE = HIGH); enables mode switching without reset |
| 16 (VCC) | Positive Supply | Primary power rail; decoupling capacitor (100 nF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin for noise immunity |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit parallel-in/serial-out shift register applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74HCT166PW-Q100 | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min at 4.5 V); identical pinout and function | Better interoperability with legacy 5 V TTL logic; slightly higher ICC at 5 V | Select when interfacing directly to 5 V microcontrollers or op-amps without level translation |
| SN74LV165APWR | 3.3 V only (1.65–5.5 V), different pinout (Q7 not on pin 13), no MR pin | Lacks asynchronous reset and automotive qualification; lower propagation delay (6.5 ns typ) | Use only in non-automotive, 3.3 V-only systems where MR is managed externally |
Compared with 74HCT166PW-Q100, the 74HC166PW-Q100 offers lower static current and wider VCC range but requires CMOS-level drive; versus SN74LV165APWR, it provides AEC-Q100 compliance and MR functionality essential for automotive reset integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the 74HC166PW-Q100 at 5.0 V?
At VCC = 5.0 V and CL = 15 pF, the 74HC166PW-Q100 achieves a maximum clock frequency of 63 MHz (typical) as specified in Table 7. This value assumes ideal signal integrity and minimal capacitive loading; real-world operation in automotive harnesses typically limits practical use to ≤25 MHz due to EMI filtering and trace inductance.
Can the 74HC166PW-Q100 be operated with a 3.3 V supply in automotive applications?
Yes - the 74HC166PW-Q100 is fully specified from 2.0 V to 6.0 V and qualified for -40 °C to +125 °C operation. At 3.3 V, VIH = 2.31 V (min) and VIL = 1.32 V (max), ensuring reliable interfacing with standard 3.3 V MCUs and peripherals in automotive domains.
How does the CE (clock enable) pin affect timing behavior?
When CE is HIGH, the CP input is disabled - no clock edges propagate through the register, preventing unintended shifts or loads. This allows precise gating of data movement without altering CP waveform timing, supporting multi-drop bus arbitration and debug pause modes in real-time control systems.
Is the MR (master reset) pin synchronous or asynchronous?
The MR pin is asynchronous and active LOW: asserting MR immediately forces all eight internal flip-flops to logic LOW, independent of CP state or timing. This guarantees deterministic initialization during power-up or fault recovery, satisfying ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirements for predictable reset behavior.
